Nieuw-Vennep Getsewoud Noord, Haarlemmermeer
NeighbourhoodThis is a proper family home, a detached house with 215 m² of living space, built in 2004 and set on a 447 m² plot. The energy label is B, so it's efficient without being cutting-edge. The asking price of €995,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but then you're getting a home that's 56% larger than the typical property in the area. For context, detached houses in Haarlemmermeer tend to command a premium.
The neighbourhood gets a 7.38 out of 10 from four reviews. One resident calls it a "nice neighbourhood" with good schools, shops, public transport and sports clubs, plus "beautiful nature" and a cosy community feel. Another says it's "cosy but not perfect", neighbours help each other, but alleys and fire escapes are often dirty. A third review is more critical: "I do think it has become quite chavvy," mentioning loitering youths, noise and safety concerns in the evenings, especially around the IJweg and Symfonie. So it's a neighbourhood with strong community spirit but some real downsides. The neighbourhood Nieuw-Vennep Getsewoud Noord is mostly families and couples, with a high proportion of owner-occupied homes.
For your morning bread, Lidl and Albert Heijn are both just around the corner, and there's a Hoogvliet and Jumbo a couple of streets away. Primary schools Opmaat and 't Venne are within a five-minute walk, and the Herbert Vissers College (vmbo) is about a ten-minute walk. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, just 300 metres away. The municipality Haarlemmermeer offers plenty of green space and recreational options.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Heemborgh Makelaars Nieuw-Vennep and also appears on Funda.

I do think it has become quite chavvy, there are many loitering youths at the shops and in the parks making noise and causing nuisance and mess. There are plenty of shops and ways to reach public transport, and there are also plenty of schools, so that is a plus point. Safety is quite poor. In the evenings, if you want to cycle alone, it has become quite scary because there are very unpleasant people around who often harass you. This is especially around the IJweg and the Kikkers (hockey) and at the Symfonie. In the evenings, there are also many drunk young people around the Symfonie. There is occasional enforcement, but they don't do much. More checks and stricter controls are needed.

About Zijlpoort 8, Nieuw-Vennep
The asking price is 55% above the neighbourhood average of €643,638, but this home is also 56% larger than the typical property (215 m² vs 138 m²). Detached homes in Haarlemmermeer generally sell for more, and the home has a good energy label (B) and a large plot. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the specific location.
Nieuw-Vennep Getsewoud Noord has a high proportion of families, 61% of households have children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the area has parks and sports clubs. However, some residents report issues with loitering youths and safety in the evenings, particularly around the IJweg and Symfonie. It's a mixed picture.
The nearest train station is 3.5 km away, so you'd need a bike or car to get there. It's not within walking distance for a daily commute.
Lidl and Albert Heijn are both less than a kilometre away, about a five-minute walk. Hoogvliet and Jumbo are about 1.7 km, a bit further but still manageable on foot or by bike.
The home has energy label B, which is good, it means lower energy costs than older homes with labels D or lower. In the neighbourhood, 77.5% of homes have label A or A+, so this is slightly below the local average but still efficient.
Resident reviews are divided. One says it's a safe neighbourhood, while another mentions poor safety in the evenings, with harassment and drunk youths around the Symfonie. The total number of crimes reported in the neighbourhood is 129, but without context it's hard to compare. It's worth visiting at different times to get a feel.
